I May Never Know

How is a heart supposed to thrive and prosper Take it everywhere you go How is it expected to survive the penalties I may never know Where is a heart supposed to be judicious Fakers everywhere you go How can you protect it from the world around you I may never know I have been the spectre at the feast so often Love cannot be found in words Aspirations falling like a chain of dominos So naïve it hurts When is a heart supposed to be resilient Break it everywhere you go How can it be nourished on a diet on ashes I may never know Why is a heart supposed to bruise and blister Hate is everywhere you go And it's ever ricocheting like a god damn pinball I may never know I have been the keeper at the gate so often Truth cannot be found in words Declarations spoken in a last ditch effort So tone deaf it hurts How is my heart supposed to know it's options I don't even ever know And why did I dispatch it on such reckless missions I may never know I may never know May I never know
